[sub][color=a187be][b]Appearance[/b][/color][/sub][indent]Catherine is svelte and feminine, with a sly look in her sharp, violet eyes. She dresses professionally, but in a way that accentuates her natural beauty.[/indent]
[sub][color=a187be][b]Biography[/b][/color][/sub][indent]An alumna of Academy City, Catherine engaged in archaeology to pursue the coveted status of hybrid. She traveled the world and learned their mythologies in the hopes of finding a way to impart herself with the ability to use magic without incurring too much harm. She eventually settled into Taoism, Chinese Alchemy, and the fuzzy line between literature and religion. With the knowledge that she had gained, she received an invitation to become a faculty member at Academy City's first-ever school for hbrids.[/indent]
[sub][color=a187be][b]Personality[/b][/color][/sub][indent]Catherine Hargreaves is collected and exudes a calm that some actually find intimidating and threatening. However, she also has a sly, youthful playfulness coupled with a graceful maturity. Though she does not seek out her students, she gives ample care and attention to those who seek her. She respects the students desire for freedom, personal space, and self-expression. She will confront those who do not behave consistently with their principles, and doesn't believe that anyone should have to bend over backwards to conform and please others. In this way, Catherine is somewhat controversial, as she only believes that people should be consistent with their principles, but believes that everyone is entitled to their own set of principles, regardless of what those principles might be, which has led some to consider her immoral and Machiavellian. There is some truth to that, as Catherine has crossed certain lines to get where she is.[/indent]

Though the boundaries can grow and shrink, she cannot compress air to more than 2atm of sustained pressure.[/indent]
[sub][color=a187be][b]Magic[/b][/color][/sub][indent]Catherine specializes in Taoism, Chinese Alchemy, and Feng Shui Geomancy, which is similar to Japanese Onmyoudou. Instead of 'doing magic herself', she attempts to use her skills to recreate magical artifacts from Chinese mythology and literature, her greatest accomplishment being the creation of a replica of the Rúyì Jīngū Bàng, the weapon wielded by Sun WuKong the Monkey King from Journey to the West.[/indent]

[sub][color=39b54a][b]Appearance[/b][/color][/sub][indent]Shizuka has short green hair and green eyes behind thick glasses.  Some say she looks a bit boyish.  Shizuka is on the short side.  Shizuka generally wears her uniform or more modest, old-fashioned clothing when she's outside.  At home she typically wears sweatshirt and sweatpants (totally an otaku)[/indent]
[sub][color=39b54a][b]Biography[/b][/color][/sub][indent]Shizuka grew up as a low-level Esper in Academy City, having been sent there by her parents at a young age, along with her older brother.  When her brother was in high school, and herself in elementary school, her brother started using the notorious Level Upper performance enhancing audio file.  He shared it with Shizuka and both of them noticed a boost in their ability in using their Esper powers.  It was eventually revealed that Level Upper was in fact an AIM network that could be used to hijack the powers of all the Espers using the network, and when it was ultimately exploited for that purpose, both Shizuka and her brother went into a coma. After they were brought out of the coma by the Level Upper treatment program, they were apprehended as Level Upper-users, in effect, they were branded as criminals.  Due to her young age and due to having been influenced by her brother, Shizuka was acquitted, whereas her brother had to go through a long and arduous appeals court process to be released.  He was also sent away from Academy City since he had lost his powers as a result of Level Upper.

Though Shizuka resents what the creator of Level Upper (and by extension, Academy City) did to her brother, the pressure, shame and powerlessness of being a low-level Esper combined with an insatiable curiosity for the level of power she had experienced when younger has pushed her to experiment on herself with synesthesia, as she has attempted over and over again to recreate and modify the original audio of Level Upper, as well as to experiment with the anti-Esper weapon, Capacity Down. It is perhaps this daring to break past her limits through unconventional (and potentially dangerous) means that has gained her acceptance to Hybrid Academy.[/indent]
[sub][color=39b54a][b]Personality[/b][/color][/sub][indent]Despite her ambition, Shizuka is actually kind of a coward and just wants to get along with everyone.  She puts too much value on what other people think of her, giving her a desire to please others, which makes her susceptible to being bullied and exploited.  She tries to find someone who she thinks will be nice to her and gives her attention to whoever she latches onto, becoming something of a lackey.  She can come off as serious but is easily flustered.  She is afraid that her love of computers will make people think she's an otaku (she really is).[/indent]

[sub][color=fff200][b]Appearance[/b][/color][/sub][indent]Hamza has dark skin, dull, red eyes, and short, white hair that he puts no effort into maintaining. Hamza often wears a tired, expressionless visage; an impenetrable poker face to those who don't know him. Most of the time, he is seen wearing a loose, baggy t-shirt and similarly loose jeans, with slightly worn out tennis shoes. Hamza tends to pick comfort and familiarity, and likes how loose clothing obscures his physique and preserves his modesty. Hamza often keeps his hands in his pockets.

Hamza has Khamsah wards tattooed on his palm, embroidered on the face-mask, front, back, and shoulders of his combat robe, and wears khamsah beads all along the belt of his combat robe.[/indent]
[sub][color=fff200][b]Biography[/b][/color][/sub][indent]Hamza was born in war-torn Syria. Orphaned at a young age, he was picked up by a group of individuals whom he believed followed a deviant Muslim sect that dabbled in witchcraft. However, over time, he realized that mysticism had always been an integral part of Islam, no matter what the sheikhs and scholars wrote in their rulings. Over time, he learned that magic was not mutually exclusive from faith, and practiced both his religion and his mystical techniques. Of course, their intention was to train him as part of the next generation of Islamic mystics, but he often heard them lamenting the dominance of Christian magic, and the overwhelming power of science. He saw these two colonizing powers as the reason that Muslim lands were in such a bad state. Some of his teachers preached that this was simply their destiny, and part of Allah's plan, while others preached that this was a test from Allah to see who could rise to the occasion and take down the oppressors once and for all.

Hamza turned his ear towards those who sought to enact change, but kept his non-violent teachings close to heart, lest he turn to violent extremism. He heard out his elders and discussed strategies with them. He heard rumors about ancient Egyptian sites being desecrated by an individual, and signs pointed to Academy City, the Capitol of Science. Hamza infiltrated the city to find out as much as he could about the inner workings of the city, but soon the allure of Hybrid Academy, and the promise of hybrids drew Hamza towards the academy. After all, science had flourished during the Golden Age of Islam, ultimately leading to the European Renaissance, and by extension, the Industrial Revolution, so Hamza saw the unification of science, magic, and faith as his true calling.[/indent]
[sub][color=fff200][b]Personality[/b][/color][/sub][indent]Hamza is focused and cautious. Disciplined and serious, he acts older than his age. His mind is filled with memories of the oppression of his people, and to end it is his chief motivator. He is suspicious and distrustful, but is himself not a great schemer. Hamza has a tendency to fly into fits of rage when encountering an insurmountable obstacle, and will often unreasonably demand more from himself and his body in an attempt to overcome said obstacle. He trusts only in his own mind, and wishes his body and emotions could be a perfect vessel, a perfect slave for his mind, but the more he wishes this were so, the more he denies the control his needs and desires have over his psyche.[/indent]
